ltomains of Frank Keri Lying
on the West-bound Track of
the Consolidated Railroad by
Company Employes Late
Last Night
l
Frank Keri, a young Itutmarlan em-
ployed by W. B. llilbbeil at his but
factory and residing at 39% Ely ave-
nue, was found dead on the railroad
tracks at Spring street, last night, hav~
lng been killed and badly mangled by
a train. A widow and five children
survive him.
Keri was about Springwood last
night and was apparently iii a happy
frame of nlind. lie was talking and
Joking about. the excessive heat. lie
was not seen so far as could be as-
certained, this morning, by anyone af-
ter about 10 o'clock.
The first that the local railroad men
knew of the. presence of the body on
the track was at. 11:30 o'clock, when
the engineer of an east-bound freight
train, No. 574, on track two, stopped
at. the South Norwaik depot. and told
Night Baggagemascr Clarence Rear-
don that he believed there was a body
on track four, near the Spring street
bridge. Mr. Renrdon went to the
spot. and there foultd the remains. It
was seen the skull was split op»
en. the legs badly mangled. one arm
cttt off and the left hand crushed to a
pulp. The body was badly crushed
also. The remains were then taken
to David W. Raymond's untlcrlakinn
establishment, after being viewed by
Medical Examiner S. if. Huntington.
flow Keri came to meet his death
could not be ascertained. Some
thought it. might have been a case of
suicide owing to the heat, biit his
friends deny tltat lllt‘l‘o is any ground
for such a supposition. and state that
he was probably on his way home
about 11 o'clock and took a short cut
across illo railroad tracks, being
struck while so doing.
It is thought that trains dnc South
NorWalk at. Niall" or 11:19 ran over
the unfortunate man. The body was
taken to the depot by illitfieardon and
Joseph Monoban. .lr.

Heat
NEW YORK. Jilly lil.~~No relief,
but rather a promise of more intense
heat and even greater suffering cattle
to New York today. Even with every
park in the city thrown wide open
and with practically every restric-
tion removed, hundreds of thousands
have been unable to escape the sever-

two score of deaths alld ten times as
many serious beat prostrations offic~

every hospital and like Institution in
the city. Ambulance surgeons, driv‘

terrible heat and the strain of inces-
sant work. were completely exhausted.
The horses gave out earlier than the
men and comparatively early It be.—
came necessary to press police patrol
wagons into service as temporary tim—
bulances. Then the hospitals bet-ante
filled to their capacity and several
were forced to announce that no more
sufferers could be taken. ,
Although litany thousand tenement
dwellers availed themselves of the op—
portunity given by the open parks to
sleep in the outer air, there were
many more who could ltot or would
not leave their homes In the parched
iiittl swultertitx lower section of the
city. it was front that section that
the first reports of death due to the
heat. t'illllf‘. today. Before 7 a, tit, flVc
fatalities had been reported. Two of
the victims fell froiii window where
they were sleeping in hope of getting
a breath of air, and were dashed to
death on the pavement. The others

George Westinghouse Favors
Government by . Five Thous.
and Stock Holders
NEW YORK, July llh—4‘lxpt‘mniflg
the belief that the present trustee
arrangement for control of the Equit-
able lllfe Assurance Society may only
very temporarily satisfy either the
policy holders or the public, anti that
a real solution of the society’s diffi-
culties has not been reached, George
Westinghouse has suggested a new
plan for stock control of the society.
by 5.000 policy holders. Mr. Westing-
house‘s plan In outlined in a letter to
Paul I). (Bravath, attorney, of this
city. dated June 21 and made public
today. The proposition outlined in
that all shareholders be invited to
place their shares, with those of Mr.
Ryan, iii the hands of the trustees
with power to vote for on amend-
ment to the society's charter provld~
ing that the stock shall consist of
5,000 shares of 830 each, instead of
1,000 shares of Sititi each; that no per—
son except a policy holder shall be a
director; that only one share shall
be field by any single person. who
must be a policy holder; that at each
annual election, seven policy holders
who have not. previously served shall
be chosen ailtl that the trustees be
directed and empowr-rcd to offer for
hale at 81,000 a share the 5,000 shares
contemplated by the amended charter
to the 5.000 largest policy holders and
in the event of any such offer not bc~
lni: accepted, then to continue to offer
said shares to the next largest Policy
holders, until the whole 5,000 shares
shall have been disposed of". in his
letter Mr. Westinghouse said: "1 be.
licve the foregoing plan would re-
sult in the selection or 5.000 of the
most influential policy holders as
candidates for the position of directors
and would tend greatly to strengthen
the society iii the estimation of the.
public. ‘l‘licse intuit) policy holders
would undoubtedly be recognized as
important men of affairs and would
obviously represent a very large
amount of the outstanding policies of
tllc,sticiet,v. The plan, while provid—
ing for the retention of experienced
directors, will also insure seven new
directors each year.”
Mr, Westinghouse said today he be
lieved that under his plan the desired
reforms can be promptly accomplished
without legislation. lle thought it
worthy of specific note that less than
one-tenth of one per cent. of the. pol-
icy Iioldcra have felt sufficiently in,
